I installed a USB 2.0 card in my computer and it doesn't seem like it's any faster than the usb 1.1 ports off the mother board. I believe I installed the latest driver. Any ideas how I can tell if I am running at USB 2.0?

See card here:USB 2.0 Card

in your device manager, under Universal Serial Bus Controller it will say USB 2.0 - something like:
"<Manufacturer> USB 2.0 *** Host Controller"
OR/AND
USB 2.0 Root Hub

If your device manager does not say that then there is a 99% chance that the card you bought is not a 2.0... Did u buy it from ebay :D

Under your USB items in Device Manager, look for the word "enhanced". If you see it, you have USB 2.0

We don't care how important you are or if you're in a hurry ;)
We do not cross post at AnandTech. You posted this same question over in General Hardware. Mmm-Kay

Thanks for the insight. After I posted, I thought a little more and decided technical support might be a better category for this issue. Thanks again.
